Title:
  Missing IP address info in Gnome Network Indicator pulldown

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  In order to support end-users using Ubuntu over the telephone it is often 
necessary to request the user to tell you their IP address. In previous 
versions of ubuntu it was in two clicks Network, Network Status.

  For some reason this information is no longer available in 18.04LTS
  Beta 1. This makes it very difficult to support.

  It is unreasonable and not-secure for end users to be opening the
  terminal to identify the IP address. Even if that is how Windows does
  it, Ubuntu has always been better on supportability.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Click the combined Network, Volume, Power indicator dropdown
  Click Wired Connected
  Click Wired Settings

  No IP, MAC, Gateway information shown. No useful information at all in
  fact.

  What should happen:
  Click the Network Icon
  Click Network Information
  A dialog box (that you can copy paste from) with all the network information 
IP, MAC, Gateway are shown.
